Ooof,  your windscreen would drive me nuts! I suppose you  use that less than the back.

What kind of money/ hours was that machine. Can you change the back hoe pattern from iso to sae and vice versa?

It has Synchro controls on the arm rests, set up like standard 360 machines.  

  Machine now has 4750 hrs.

No I use the front more, when I first got it, i planned on replacing it the next week, the more I use it the less I notice it tbh.

Until you replace it one day and then go why didn’t I do this when I first got it!?

Hi John
We’ve been working for NYCC ( client) and also a construction company/ bridge contractor.
It’s very weird really , the flood seemed to only effect the Cogden beck valley, but its gob smacking what damage it’s done.
We’ve been felling large spruces ,sycamores to allow for pile driving machinery and road construction access, had Paul up there today and tomorrow with some of his kit.
Hope alls good with you.

Here’s some pics from the platform.

That beck didn’t used to flow through that field.

It’s even washed the mature trees away from where it joins the swale, they’ll be phoning us up to pull them out when they find them up against a bridge.[emoji23]

Hi Guys

Its me again the Padawan learner seeking advice from the experienced arb digger Jedis out there in cyberspace.

I am still looking at machines in the 6T category and am now considering purchase of new equipment and so comes up the question of dipper arm length, long or short? If setting up the machine for tree work including feeding the chipper, loading logs, land clearing etc. with a rotating grab would you go for the longer arm option for added reach or stay with the standard length to increase lifting capacity? So far the New Holland E60C, Case CX60C and Hyundai R60CR-9 are being compared.

Thanks

Ben

I think you’ll find that they are all the same machine.
